Southwest General Named One of the Nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular
Hospitals by IBM Watson Health

Middleburg Hts., OH (Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2017) — Southwest General was recently named one of the nation’s
50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by IBM Watson Health.

IBM Watson Health recently released the 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals
2018 study. The annual study, conducted by Truven Health Analytics, now
part of IBM Watson Health, identifies the top U.S. hospitals for inpatient
cardiovascular services. The study uses a balanced national scorecard
of hospital performance metrics to identify the highest performing cardiovascular
service lines in the nation.

This study is part of the Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals program. All
these studies use rigorous processes to calculate and measure hospital
service lines, leveraging industry-leading, risk-adjusted methodologies
developed and maintained by IBM Watson Health scientists over many years.
The 100 Top Hospitals study is widely regarded as the leading program
for evaluating leadership impact in a hospital as well as for evaluating
quality indicators and efficiencies.

“We believe that our patients are receiving value from the leading,
evidence-based cardiovascular care here at Southwest General,” said
William A. Young, Jr., president and chief executive officer, Southwest
General. “Receiving this award is a team effort through a passionate
and skilled multidisciplinary team of frontline staff, physicians and
hospital leaders. I am extremely proud of the compassionate, patient-centered
quality care that has earned us this prestigious recognition.”

The study, and subsequent analysis of the positive variances these leading
cardiovascular service hospitals show, indicates an opportunity for a
broader national impact for cardiovascular patients, should these results
be replicated. In fact, if all cardiovascular providers in the U.S. performed
at the level of this year’s winners:

Nearly 8,900 additional lives could be saved

Nearly 3,700 more bypass and angioplasty patients could be complication-free

award. Award-winning hospitals and health systems prove that better care
is possible and provide an example for other organizations to follow across
the industry. The 100 Top Hospitals award winners demonstrate top performance
on both how patients are cared for under clinical measures and how the
hospital performs as an efficient business.
